Golf Themed Birthday Party

Let’s PAR-TEE!

I can’t lie, I’ve been procrastinating posting this party because I feel like I am going to be held to the ‘Sweet Shoppe‘ standard.  You guys really made me feel special with all of those comments on that post! 😉  Well, I basically depleted my party funds after the twins’ birthday. 😉 Fortunately my mother-in-law was in town to pick up my slack (both creatively and financially). Oh how I love parents.  Between the two of us, somehow this golf themed birthday party came to life!  My little man adores golf (mostly because it means he gets to go to the golf course with daddy).  I knew right away that a ‘GOLF’ themed birthday party was the only way to go.  Chickabug took my basic concept, added her creative touch, and designed a perfect printable set. {I love all the ‘puns’ in it}.

Why must they grow so fast?  And why must he always have a water gun in his hand? 😉

A special thanks to everyone who helped make this golf themed birthday party a success:

To my creative Mother-in-law Dianne who helped in so many ways.

To my father-in-law who tried to get the right shaped doughnut holes but didn’t.

To chickabug for, once again, designing an incredibly cute printable golf theme which is now available in her shop. {Can you tell we love her around here?}

To Sweet Baking Supply who has the best baking supplies (and prices) online. The cupcake liners I used for the golf cupcakes are incredible!  (I also used them here).

-The striped favor bags for making children smile on their way home.

-The green and white striped straws which made ordinary water bottles look so much better.

–KcSoapsNmore who created the Golf Cart stamped tags (on the water bottle favors).

-These Clear and White Polka Dot Balloons which just made me happy.

–TomKat Studios who continues to provide an ‘eye candy’ of inspiration for all my parties.

{Did I cover it all? Hopefully that answered most of your questions} 🙂

Until next year, my parties are done. Whew! Now what themes should I do?  Suggestions? We want to see your parties!

    This party is great! I especially loved the golf cart tags printed on natural kraft. So cute! Was that a stamp?

    You were so creative with all the puns – doughnut “hles” “club” sandwiches, etc. I think this party would definitely work for an adult as well. So festive!

    I know what you mean about the expenses – I am planning my daughter’s 7th b’day party for next weekend and I’ve already spent so much and still have a ways to go! Good thing I only have 2 daughters!! 🙂

    Wow! This is such a fun party! I can’t decide what I love most…there are so many great ideas! The sandwich wrappers and the “hole in one” donut holes have to be pretty high on the list. Thanks so much for mentioning my striped straws…I had no idea they were heading someplace so cute! 🙂

    Absolutely gorgeous! I adore Chickabug (Heather made my vision come to life last year when she made the Goldfish set custom for me!) and had already wanted to do a golf theme this year. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas, pictures and help. Where did you get the visors, plastic golf balls and green water bottles for favors? Thanks, you rock!
    P.S. I love Kim @ TomKatStudios too! I was lucky enough to get to know her thru a friend of a friend. I wish I had your guy’s creativity!!!

    I just found your post by using google to find some golf themed birthday party ideas. I’m not one to leave comments on blogs/websites that I’m not familar with but as soon as I read your intro I thought that you were talking about my soon to be 3 year old (whose golf party I am planning) and I just HAD to leave a comment! He LIVES for golf and especially going with daddy to the course! And then…I saw your photos. These were EXACTLY the ideas I was looking for!! Thanks for sharing your amazingly creative ideas. Now, I’m off to learn about how to build a mini course in our backyard. 🙂

    i contacted chickabug for the golf themed stuff she has and she sent me to this post for some inspiration for my sons golf themed party – can i steal EVERY idea?!?! I love them all!!! How did you do the doughnut holes??? What is the grassy stuff they are stuck in? thanks so much!!!

    Reply

    • Shelley says

      Yes you can steal every last idea! 🙂 Isn’t Chickabug the BEST to work with? She is fabulous! –The doughnut hole in ones were just doughnut holes, with sucker sticks in them. I dipped them in white chocolate and rolled them in white sprinkles. The grassy stuff is just turf you can buy at home depot of lowes by the yard. 🙂 I’d LOVE to see pictures. Send them our way when you are done! 🙂

    Hello Shelley- where do i get some of those amazing foam golf hats for the kids attending my sons party? I love this idea, you are so creative!

    Did you play any games at the party? I love this and wanting to do a party similar for my sons 2nd bday party!
    And besides the water bottles what did the kids take home for a party favor?

    Reply

    • Shelley says

      The kids played ‘3’ holes of golf (he was turning three) and had a water balloon fight (nothing to do with golf. ha). –The kids had lots of candy favors in green and white. Swirly suckers, green apple sugar rings… Hope that helps 🙂

      Grapes, candy, and cake. 🙂 Nothing too fancy, although i’m sure you could come up with some great golf ‘pun’ foods.

    O.M.G!! I am pregnant with our first child, who happens to be a little boy, and I am pinning this ides because his daddy is a golfer and this is just a PERFECT idea for when he’s a bit older! You have executed it amazingly! Wish I could choose a favorite part, but I love it all!

    Hello! I am doing a golf themed party for my son’s upcoming birthday and came across your post while I was looking for ideas. I absolutely love your whole design idea! Can you tell me where you got your tablecovers from? (Crazy that this is what I am having the most trouble finding! hahaha)

    Thank you so much!

      The green tablecloth came from WALMART. 😉 $10. Can’t beat it. –Was that what you were looking at?

        Yes, thank you. But also the green small gigham checked tablecloth. I tried looking online for something very similar, unfortunately I would have to order from oversees! lol
        Thanks again for your help! 🙂

    Love this golf b-day theme. I am replicating for our son’s 1st b-day party next month. I had a quick question though. I have found BPA, dishwasher safe water bottles. What did you use to write the kid’s names on the bottles? Is there something that is fade resistant and dishwasher safe?

    I have a question about the personalized water bottles in your golf theme party. What white writing instrument did you use to write on the green water bottles? Thanks!

    The green grass cup cakes could win prizes Im sure. This article was my inspiration for a birthday party for my son, THANK YOU for writing such a great piece. We used recyclable green water bottles that the children took home with them. Recycling is so important as plastic waste is a constant problem being washed up on beaches these days! Shelley, have you ever thought of a Recycling theme for a kids birthday ??

    Where do you find the larger green water bottles not the clear ones with straws in it. Doing a 50 Shades green golf tournament

    Hi! I’m planning my son’s 3rd birthday and fell in love with your party. One question I had was where did you purchase the green water bottle party favors? If you have a direct link, that would be great! Thank you so much and I hope my party turns out just as creative and lovely as yours!
